Chapter 155
“Auntie, don’t say that!”Elena glared at her with widened eyes.She really did not expect such cruel words to come out from her aunt’s mouth.She really had no idea who the person standing in front of her was. He was truly a great tycoon and a great patron of the Larson family!Elena was a little shocked.After being scolded so much, Gerald was only slightly agitated. The words and mockeries seemed to have numbed him.Ruby was about to reprimand Gerald even more. She wanted to make him understand that he had to stay away from Elena.Suddenly, her phone rang, and she picked it up to answer the call.“Oh? Dickson Wayward? Huh? Didn’t I say I’d let you come next time? What? You’re already at the door? Okay, okay, I’ll go get you now!”The call was from Dickson Wayward. Ruby had already told him that he wouldn’t be coming today.But who knew that Dickson would still insist on coming here?It was Elena’s boyfriend who was coming over, after all, Ruby thought. She was quite pleas

“So you’re saying you’re also from Sunnydale University? I’ve never seen you around, though!” Dickson was smiling the whole time. “No. I’m from Mayberry University.” Gerald knew how to stay calm no matter what kind of vibes the other people were giving him. “Mayberry University is fine. Anyways, what does your family do? How did you make Elena fall for you?” Dickson asked. “Well, Dickson, allow me to tell you. He came from a small village, and his family runs a tiny grocery store! How do you still not understand by the way he dresses?” Amber answered. The highest state of ignorance was pretending someone didn’t exist even when he was just right in front of you. Although it was hurtful, nobody would actually point it out. However, Amber had been doing that to Gerald all along, and it showed how much she despised him. “Oh, it must have been tough studying in Mayberry coming from a small village. Do let me know if you’re in any kind of trouble. My father knows the dean, and I ca
Chapter 157
Dickson had been showing off his family’s connection with Mayberry in the rest of the conversations while poking fun at Gerald.It would be unreal if Gerald was not angry at all. At this point in time, he would have really loved to punch Dickson in his face. All Dickson could ever do was to just show off and mock people. Other than those things, he had no greater purpose. That afternoon’s family gathering was quite awful. They continued talking after lunch, and soon, it was past noon. Gerald had been awake since early that morning, and he was starting to get exhausted. Amber suddenly shouted, shocking Gerald. “ Dickson, Elena. It’s almost five, and the party is about to start soon! Let’s go get ready now. It’s not nice to be late!” “Right! Yoel Holden organized it, after all. We mustn't be late!” Dickson said. “Okay, you should get going now. Dickson, please take good care of Amber and Elena!” Ruby said, leaving Gerald out of the conversation deliberately. “Yes, ma’am!” Di
Chapter 158
A few rich young men waved at Dickson when they arrived. They all seemed to know each other. “Wow, so many friends are here. Come, Elena. Let me introduce them to you!” Dickson said.The youths in question were playing around while eating and drinking, all having a blast. Gerald was exhausted, not in the mood to meet new people anymore. He really needed a place to rest, then find out where Aiden and the others went. “You guys have fun. I’ll be heading to the washroom. You guys don’t have to look for me!” Gerald told them and left by himself. “Is he really just heading to the washroom, or he is embarrassed to let anyone know that he’s from a poor family?” “I know, right! Doesn’t he know what social setting this is? And he’s probably regretting now!” Everyone was talking about him.Elena wanted to follow Gerald, but she knew she had troubled him way too much today. She didn’t want to bother him anymore. “Who was that person? He just went off without saying anything?” O
Chapter 159
The bikini-clad girls were playing volleyball by the beachside while Gerald lay down by the chair. He was too tired, and he was not even sure where he was looking, but the girls got the wrong idea. They thought he was staring at them with dirty thoughts. At first, those girls thought it would be acceptable to be slightly exposed to the guys since they were out here to have fun, but the man staring at them was way too undesirable. He even daydreamed while watching them! The girls thought they knew very well what was going on, and they felt disgusted. “Look! He’s so disgusting, and he’s getting excited while looking at us!” “He must be looking at Crystal. Her outfit is more daring than her usual ones today. Even that rich young man over, there was even trying to get a picture of her. Once he heard that she’s very close with Yoel Holden, though, he immediately backed off!” “I know, right? This guy must have a death wish. He probably even has all of our pictures on his phone.

The girls pinned him against the sandy beach. “Don’t you dare offend me, you perverted peasant! You’re finished when Yoel gets here!” Crystal scoffed. A girl handed Crystal a bathrobe to cover up. “Guys! There's some big news. A group of girls is ganging up on a guy over there!” “Huh? What happened?” “A pervert guy apparently staring at the bikini girls playing volleyball. They were unhappy that he was staring, and they fought!” “Let’s go check it out!” People were coming over to the other side of the beach after hearing what happened. Dickson, Amber, and Elena heard about it amid the barbeque and immediately went over.“Elena and Amber, let’s go and have a look. I would really like to see which brother has fallen.” Elena did not want to follow them at first, but she wanted to leave anyway, to check if Gerald had gone back to the hotel. She nodded and followed them. When they reached the other end of the beach, a few girls were sitting on a guy, pinning him down as
Chapter 161
Yoel Holden was the son of County’s State wealthiest man. He was also the leader of the rich youths around the whole Gangnam district. Not only that, many young women were fond of him, all hoping they would have a perfect encounter with him one day. Yoel might just fall for their beauty one day, they thought. But these were all pipe dreams as Yoel Holden wasn’t someone they could so easily snuggle up to. The cruise ship blared its horn as it docked by the port. The cabin doors were opened, and down came Yoel with women on his left and right. He wasn’t exactly good looking, nor was he tall, even slightly fat, but the pretty girls kept on shouting, “He’s hot!” Amber was the loudest on their side, hoping to capture Yoel’s attention.Dickson, on the other hand, stared at him in jealousy. He was dying to be him and wished he could become like that someday. Even if he could not turn out like him, turning out as Aiden wasn’t so bad. Being Yoel’s best friend, most men would undoub

”Dickson, could Gerald really be that great?” Amber was shocked. “I’ve only heard about this guy recently, that he has lots of potential. Come to think about it, Holden’s family could only become this successful thanks to Gerald’s sister!” Dickson crossed his arms as he explained it to everyone. “Damn! Does it mean we get to see who this Gerald person is?” Amber was super excited. At the same time, Yoel looked at Aiden. “Aiden, where is Gerald?” he asked. Yoel used to call Aiden by his full name, but ever since he found out that he and Gerald were best friends, he now addressed him on a first-name basis. That said, no matter how he mentioned his name, there was still a big gap between them. “He arrived a long time ago, but he probably just went out!” Aiden was looking all around for Gerald. “Yoel, should we look for him at the hotel? We shouldn’t let him wait since he’s such an important guest,” replied Crystal as she nudged Yoel’s arm. Crystal was all blushing. At first,
